Run a Store: the lemonade-stand math project kids actually finish
Across 33 screen-free pages, your child opens a lemonade stand — pricing the menu, making change for the lunch rush, tracking every sale, and graphing profit all the way to the $59.50 closing-time reveal. Built for grades 3–5, it turns everyday math into real business skills: budgeting, pricing, and understanding profit.
